Howdy

I have the irc installed in node. Chatzilla working. I have a d-link set up as a wireless access point.

Has anyone found a chat app that will work with android phone and the irc node server?

Firefox on phone, yes   chatzilla add on said not compatible.

IRC is a standard protocol (read as: everyone who wants to can and does support it)

Check the App Store for "IRC Client".   AndroidIRC is pretty popular on a lot of the non mesh servers I am on but there are likely hundreds of other apps.

I have tried about six of them from app store and download from web and they all seem to say the same thing.

syntax error, wrong link, ect

Looks like they may add the :6667   to the end of the add line.

I did remove the port # from the set up and it will not let me, said it has to be in the set up.

This may be the lack of FQDN that affects chatzilla or may be the link just doesn't match what the application wants .


you may just want to configure  the app manually most have fields for server name  port number etc, links are but I can see how you would want the link to work, in that case contact the program support and ask them how irc:// links need to look for their application.

Some more info

Chatzilla works on pc  but android will not.

That is why I was looking for android app.

They all seem to add the port # after the link. So

I think my next move is to contact the app author and see what they think.

Thanks for the help

AndChat looks to work well with android and irc server in node. I use access point for phone connection and use node url 10.x.x.x The app puts the port in for you. Then set up and log into channel #mesh The voice to text works also. Buster kg9nd Wayne Co In. RACES
